Davies: The Crew not only have an advantage int he way that they play, the style of play, because they're going to keep the ball, try and neutralize the transition play of Denis Bouanga, but I think, in terms of having that crowd behind them, not having to travel, they're going to feel real comfortable in this game.But, as Charlie Davies explained on Morning Footy, the Crew are the team to beat here. The trio of Timmy Tillman, Ilie Sanchez and Kellyn Acosta will have something to say about that as the Black and Gold have one of the most balanced midfield themselves but whoever wins this midfield battle will lift MLS Cup on Saturday. Now that they're back at this stage and not only is Morris more experienced and now a critical part of the team, but Nagbe now has a chance to make up for missing that game in 2020 in front of his home fans. When the Crew made MLS Cup in 2020, Darlington Nagbe missing the match due to COVID gave a start to a young Aidan Morris who shined in midfield.

It's not easy to repeat as a league champion especially on the road but with a forward like Denis Bouanga on your side who has scored 37 goals and assisted 13 more in all competitions, LAFC can believe, at a minimum, there will be goals. The Crew seek their first MLS Cup title since 2020 while LAFC can become the first repeat champions since their cross town rivals the LA Galaxy in 2012. Sticking with domestic soccer, Saturday will see the Columbus Crew and Los Angeles FC clash at field. Being pitted against the number 11 team in the world, a resurgent Uruguay coached by Marcelo Bielsa, is one of the best World Cup like tests that a team can get and that's an exciting prospect.ĭespite getting pitted with Uruguay, Pardeep Cattry does like the draw for the USMNT. Without World Cup qualifiers, this is an excellent chance for the USMNT to test themselves against top opposition, and also for Gregg Berhalter to have a chance at a signature win as well.
